Gautam Sharma Said About Documentary

“For Indian cricket fans and Sachin admirers, it’s always a great story to relive and celebrate. I was fortunate to spend some time with Sachin and hear from him what it meant to win the 2011 World Cup."

“The teammates also describe their journey together and what it meant to them to be able to deliver that elusive World Cup to Sachin – it makes for a pretty great story,” says Gautam Sharma, who has directed the film. “The story highlights the team’s victory as “one man’s meeting with history and a team’s meeting with greatness”. Sharma says, the film also projects the significance of team sport like Cricket.

“This is the true story of how the burden of an entire nation, desperately craving entry into the global elite, bends and almost breaks the collective aspirations of a country, but then is rescued by the power and transcendence of a team sport,” he says.
